About the ALT Vision

The Academy of Life Training (ALT) is the ideal environment for developing life skills while growing from a great internship in Israel. With locations in Jerusalem and also in the Tel Aviv area, students work in the morning at top internships in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem and then participate in small interactive discussion groups in the afternoon. Evenings are generally free time.

The ALT staff show students how to analyze and develop themselves in three central areas: social life, spiritual life, and professional life. Students will see the practical benefits that Jewish Wisdom has to offer with regards to establishing a healthy outlook and life balance. Find yourself… before you find a job!

All 2-month programs are run in partnership with Onward Israel. There are separate 2-month women sessions and men sessions in both Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem during the summer, whereas in the winter we only have 2-month Jerusalem sessions. We are starting a 4-month Spring session for men and women in Spring 2018. Each session is expected to have a small-group feel.
